Question 3:
Construct the angles of the following measurements:
(i) 30° (ii)
(iii) 15°
(i)30°
The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 30°.
Step I: Draw the given ray PQ. Taking P as centre and with some radius, draw an arc of a circle which intersects PQ at R.
Step II: Taking R as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at point S.
Step III: Taking R and S as centre and with radius more than
RS, draw arcs to intersect each other at T. Join PT which is the required ray making 30° with the given ray PQ.
(ii)![]()
The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of
.
(1) Take the given ray PQ. Draw an arc of some radius, taking point P as its centre, which intersects PQ at R.
(2) Taking R as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at S.
(3) Taking S as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the arc at T (see figure).
(4) Taking S and T as centre, draw an arc of same radius to intersect each other at U.
(5) Join PU. Let it intersect the arc at point V.
(6) From R and V, draw arcs with radius more than
RV to intersect each other at W. Join PW.
(7) Let it intersect the arc at X. Taking X and R as centre and radius more than
RX, draw arcs to intersect each other at Y.
Joint PY which is the required ray making
with the given ray PQ.
(iii) 15°
The below given steps will be followed to construct an angle of 15°.
Step I: Draw the given ray PQ. Taking P as centre and with some radius, draw an arc of a circle which intersects PQ at R.
Step II: Taking R as centre and with the same radius as before, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc at point S.
Step III: Taking R and S as centre and with radius more than
RS, draw arcs to intersect each other at T. Join PT.
Step IV: Let it intersect the arc at U. Taking U and R as centre and with radius more than
RU, draw an arc to intersect each other at V. Join PV which is the required ray making 15° with the given ray PQ.
